alleged Malpractice

Special to the Gazette.
HOUSTON, Tex, May 9.-The medical
faculty of Houston is somewhat excited
over an alleged case of malpractice. It's
stated that short while ago two of the
most prominent physicians of the city
were called to attend 9 married lady,
and after diagnosing the case pro-
nounced her ailment ovarian tumor.
On this hypothesis they proceeded to per-
form an operation, when to their amaze
ment and horror they discovered that
they had made q terrible mistake, the
lady being merely pregnant. The
fact that the lady has been married some
six or eight years without giving
birth to child operated to mislead the
doctors. There are rumOrs that the
medical fraternity will make the case
subject of investigation and that the hus-
band of the lady will institute suit for
damages.

The entertainment st night was given
by the Chatauqua Club, and ably they sus-
tanned their reputation. The drama, 'sThe
Flowing Bowl" was well chosen and each
part well sustained. Miss SalIie Hodges
as Jessie Morris fairly cap.ivated the
audience by her bright acting and grace
full manners. Misses Hayter and Chris
man were both ct home in their separate
roles. Mr.. J. A. Graves as negro Pete
made decided hit. The evenings pro-
gramme was interspersed with good
music and rotations. Among the
latter that of Mrs. A. L. Speer
was so good that it deserved special men
ton. Her rendition of Chow the Cos
pei Came to Jim Oaks" could not be sur
passed, and would have safely defed crit
icism before the most critical and cult
waited audience. Miss Stephens rendered
an ably written history of the Chatauqua
Club in a very pleasing manner.

FORT WORTH AND DENVER.
WHAT IT Is DOING FOR THE REGION
THROUGH WHICH IT PASSES.
Special to the Gazette.
QUANAH, Tex, May 9.-The ingress Of
the Fort Worth and Denver Railway into
the almost unknown Panhandle country,
has had the effect of bringing its IN
questionable value for farming and stock
raising purposes into notice, not
only throughout other sections of
this state, but all over the Union.
Numerous prOspeCtors-pOOr men, who
have been renters in older settled
sections here to seek homes in this
land of cheap farms and easy payment.
Men possessed Of limited means come
here to invest what they have, knowing
well that the near approaching great de-
veIOpment of the country wHl insure
them a rapid increase. Many are arriving
who have ample means, and are on the
lookout for favorable locations for stock
farms, haYing heard of the
natural adaptibility of this section
for that purpose. Among this latter
class may be mentioned the following
three gentlemen, all well-to-do stockmen
of Hayes county: W. J. Good, E. E.
Banner and Joel Rice. These gentlemen
who came with the aVOWed intention of
making some extensive purchases of lands
on which to establish stock farms, ar
rived here on the train from Fort Worth
yesterday and left to-day by pri-
vste conveyance for an extensive
prospecting tour further west, through the
country bordering on the line of the
road.
Every intelligent and right thinking
nan who comes here seems to be favor
ably Impressed with the future advan-
tages this country will derive from the
Fort Worth and Denver Road aud its con-
nections when it is once completed to it's
final terminus at Denver City
These favorable impressions are
correct. A road
like this, with one end in
such center as Fort Worth,
with its numerous connecting lines lead
ing to the Gulf and the markets of the
east, and the other connecting in Denver
with the entire Rocky Mountain system,
and it's direct lines to the Atlantic and
Pacific seaboards, together with the
junction that will be formed with the
Santa Fe in the midst of the Panhandle,
gives it a rail outlet unsurpassed by any
other section of the west.
